WARNINGS & NOTICES
Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions. Use caution when using this product.
To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this product without following the instructions carefully. Check entire box and inside all packing
material for parts and/or additional instruction material. Before beginning assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using the hardware
identifier and parts list in this document. Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision are essential for proper operation and to reduce the
risk of accident or injury. A high probability of serious injury exists if this product is not installed, maintained, and operated properly.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe operation of the system.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Three capable adults are recommended for this operation.
• Check base daily for leakage. Leaks will cause system to fall.
• Assemble the pole sections properly. Failure to do so could cause the pole sections to separate during play or transport.
• Minimum operational height is 6 ft 6 in (1.98m) to the bottom of the backboard.

XSECTION 1 (CONTINUED) 1
• Dig a hole 30” (76.2 cm) deep and 21” (53 cm) square. The edge of the hole should be flush with the edge of the
playing court. If you live in an area where frost heaves may pose a problem, consult your local building inspector to
determine the appropriate hole depth. Bell out the bottom of the hole as illustrated. We recommend building a form
to keep the top of the concrete level and square. Place the form so it is level with the playing surface.

• Thread a 1/2” Hex Nut (AOE) all the way onto each J-Bolt (AEI). Slide the threaded ends of the J-Bolts through the corner
holes in the Template (AKT), and secure them completely with 1/2” Hex Nuts (AOE). Insert the Bolt (AEO) through the center
hole in the Template and tighten the Nut Coupler (CYV) onto the Bolt as far as it will go.

TOOLS AND HARDWARE REQUIRED
XSECTION 1 (CONTINUED)
• Center the Template (AKT) over the hole. Insert the
J-Bolts (AEI) into the concrete and agitate the Template
assembly to eliminate any air bubbles. Push the
J-Bolts into the cement until the Template is
resting flat against the cement. Form the cement
into a downward slope toward the playing surface
to allow water runoff. The lower four Hex Nuts (AOE)
will be in the concrete permanently. Clean off any
concrete on the Template or the exposed portion
of the J-Bolts. Using a carpenter’s level, ensure the
Template is square to the playing surface. Plate should
be level and about 1/2” above the playing surface
for water to drain off of the steel.
18” (20 cm)
AEZ
(80-lb Bag x 8)
• If you are using concrete mix, mix the concrete
according to the instructions on the bags. Please
note that a thicker mix of concrete will dry stronger.
Pour the concrete into the hole, stopping about
18” (46 cm) from the top of the hole. Push the
four pieces of 24” Rebar (AEZ) firmly to the bottom
of the hole. The Rebar should be arranged in a
square about 8” (20 cm) wide in the center of
the hole so each piece will be next to a J-Bolt
when it is placed in the cement. Finish filling
the hole to the top with concrete. The top of the
concrete should extend about 1/2” (13 mm)
above the playing surface and slope downward
toward the playing surface to allow water runoff.
1.3
!• You are now finished with the initial assembly steps. DO NOT
PROCEED WITH THE ASSEMBLY until the concrete has fully cured.
Curing will take a minimum of 72 hours (3 days). In humid climates
or wet weather, allow additional time for the concrete to cure. Never
use the system without first following the cementing instructions.

WARNING
The Poles must be seated together! Even if the Poles cover
the slots before seating, they must be struck on a hard
surface three times! Failure to seat the Poles correctly
could allow the Poles to separate during use, which could
lead to serious personal injuries or property damage.
2.2 • Raise the pole assembly about 12 inches off
the ground. Strike the end of the poles against
a piece of scrap wood or thick cardboard three
times to ensure the poles are seated properly.
WARNING
Do not hit your feet with the Pole Sections, as
serious injury could occur.
